Jeffrey Lewis Recruits Johnny Flynn for A Turn in the Dream-Song

August 4, 2011

Between Ryan Adams’ new LP, Rachael Yamagata’s third album, and now Jeffrey Lewis’ A Turn in the Dream-Song, October 11 is shaping up to be a big day for promising new releases. The latter full-length finds Lewis alongside members of Dr. Dog, the Vaselines, Au Revoir Simone, and the Wave Picture, as well as our personal favorite, English folk singer Johnny Flynn. What’s more, Lewis ditched digital for analog recording on his new solo record, putting the set to two-inch tape at a studio Manchester, UK known for its stock of vintage gear.

The tracklist and our first taste of A Turn in the Dream-Song are still forthcoming, but you can catch possible live previews on UK, China, and Korean tour datesthis month. Those of us in North America will have to sit tight and revisit “Don’t Be Upset” below:
